Most hotels are terrible and even block any DNS configurations that aren’t controlled by them. If you do figure out a way, can you update your original post?

It can write really buggy Python code, so… Yeah, seems promising

Thanks. Yeah it’s difficult to search for and request sometimes (cookies, or JS required), so why I was asking if others might have it

Any archive link?

Rough. Thanks for the info

Very good point, it might lead to more tribalism if kept too small

This sounds cool. Why not make it 150 people per group max, since we can only have roughly 150 good human connections at any given time

Does it get the same security updates then? Docs state it supports older hardware, which if secure that would be awesome

This project looks very cool, I hope it comes to be

Value is vague on purpose, since it means that something retains its “essence” tomorrow as good or better than today. Otherwise humans would not even be able to feed themselves since the only reason I can have food in the winter is because I have something to exchange for food from places that have figured out to grow or store food. It also would be a terrible place if we worked very hard today and our returns depreciated rapidly, because there will be times when we can’t work

Sure, stocks and bonds have historically held some value, but is near impossible to out perform base inflation and has gotten worse the last 20+ years. Physical land and tangible long term goods have held up, but difficult to use for trade, hence currency

So you’re just very pro fiat?

Good luck!

So other than some good or a country’s clout, what do you suggest is a better alternative for a store of value?

What does the term “wildly fluctuate” mean? In 50 years of USD fiat, gold vs USD has gone from 35$ to ~2000$ per ounce. That seems pretty rapid to me, since I can still talk to living people who experienced it

At least BTC has historically gone up, whereas fiat goes down, although only a few years of data for crypto compared to thousands of fiat, so maybe crypto will do the same as well

Yeah, hence why I’m looking for ideas

Sure, theoretically it’s “finite”, but we do discover more every year, so to us, in 2024, it is not finite. Different infinities exist, yes

Good advice, thank you for sharing

The issue is those closer to the money printer get the biggest rewards (according to the US Fed’s description of their stakeholders) so as they increase their supply of currency they can accumulate more goods, outpacing the rest of the classes which have to suffer through inflation, which debases their money, keeps wages low and goods prices increase

In an evenly distributed and fully observable currency supply which can rise and lower as needed, there is no inherent issue with fiat currencies as long as the issuing party is reputable and wages increase at the same pace (up or down) with all prices

I think we need more restrictions on finances, so our human creativity can effect. What I see is that most advanced civilizations’ largest export is literal trash due to excess and waste, so I figured why not have a discussion about it

Also, every fiat currency has failed in the two ways it can: hyperinflation or clout loss due to no trust in the issuing party (which tends to lead to hyperinflation). Innovation has stalled or at least hit the top of the S curve over the last 50 years, with mostly remixes of old ideas that tend to expedite the finite resources we have, so I don’t think technology will outpace inflation

Good advice, thank you for sharing

I can see this point, but how else do we store our spent engery? I personally don’t want to be working when I’m 90 and the current only option is I have enough saved up something-that-holds-value long enough that I can pay for food and taxes (assuming I can own land)

I understand the frustration, but we are sadly dealt these cards and must play or… And there isn’t much another option
